vfences of this character.

Another object of 'theinvention is to so construct the fence that the wires at their point of intersection are securely locked together, thereby preventing creeping of one wire upon the other. Y

With these and other objects in view,.the invention consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be .more fully described, illustratedin the accompanying drawings and claimed.

In the dra-wings1-Figure-l is a. side ele v vation of a portion of a fence constructed in accordance with the invention; Fig.V 2 is a. detail View of one of the ties; Fig.- isa ldetail view showing the formation of Toney of the fence Wires; and Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 of a` second wire.

Referring tothe drawings by numerals, l and 2 designate ay pair of wires which are bent to form alternately V and inverted V-shaped portions, the apexes of the V- shaped portions adapted to be connected together by means of the improved ties 3 to form a fence fabric.

Each of the wires has a. loop formed at the apex of the 'il-shaped portion, the wire 4 alt one side extending tangentially from the loop 5, while the wire afterbeing formed into the loop is extended at right angles to the wire 4 and radially from the loop, as at 6. All of the wires are of the same formation and are adapted to have their respective loops. connected together to form a tie, the `portions 4 and 6 of the respective wires being adapted to pass through the loop 5 of the opposite wire as is clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

By reference to the drawings it will be seen that one'of the terminals of the wire Copies of thila patent maybe zSpecification of Letters Patent.

extends over the loopwhile the other extends thereunder, so that when the wires are positioned as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings and the same are tightened by exerting a. pressure on the respective ends of the wires the loops will be drawn tightly together to provide a rigid joint.

' From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings it is thought that the construction and operation of the device will be clearly understood; and while I have herein shown and described one specic form of my invention I do not wish to be limited thereto, except for such limitations as the claims may import.

What is claimed is 1. In a wire fence fabric, a. Wire bent to form a. loop, said wire extending 'tangentially from said loop in one direction, and Said wire extending radially from said loop in a direction at right angles to said firstmentioned extending portion.

2. A wire fence fabric comprising a. plurality of Wires bent to form alternately V and inverted V-shaped portions, said wires being bent to form loops at the apexes of said il-shaped portions, a portion of said Wires extending tangentiall/y from. .said

loops, a portion of said wires extending radially from said loops, said extending portions of each wire passing through Athe 'loops of the other wire to interlock and form a fabric.

3. A wire fence fabric comprising a plurality of wires bent to form alternately V and inverted V-shaped portions, said wires being bent to form loops at the apexes of said V-shaped portions. a portion of said wires extending tangentially of said loops, a. portion of said wires extending radially from said loops and in al direction at right angles to said first-mentioned extending portion, said extending portions of each Wire passing through the loops of the other wire to interlock and form a fabric.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
